Orioles reassigned OF Chris Dickerson to minor league camp.

Dickerson had a decent camp, particularly in the power department (four homers in 38 at-bats) but didn't do enough to crack the O's Opening Day roster. The 34-year-old journeyman hasn't played in the big leagues since 2014 and he's running out of chances to make it back. Thu, Mar 30, 2017 06:06:00 PM

Chris Dickerson hit his fourth spring homer in his lone at-bat off the bench Thursday against the Tigers.

In an alternate universe, a more durable Dickerson is finishing up his career as a decent regular corner outfielder and spending the next couple of years as a bench player before heading off to retirement. In this one, the soon-to-be 35-year-old has had more than 200 major league at-bats in a season just once (with the Reds in 2009) and hasn't played in the majors at all since 2014. He's had a nice spring, going 10-for-38 with a .996 OPS, but the Orioles aren't going to carry him and it's doubtful he'll soon wind up with a bench job elsewhere. Thu, Mar 30, 2017 03:45:00 PM

Chris Dickerson is expected to miss a few days with a sore left shoulder.

It doesn't sound like something that will keep him out of action for long. Dickerson, 34, hasn't played in the majors since 2014 and will likely serve as minor league depth this year. Tue, Mar 21, 2017 11:00:00 AM

Dickerson played for the Orioles' Double-A team last year. The 34-year-old has spent brief periods in the majors with five different teams over the last decade while hitting .257/.335/.395 with 17 homers in 355 games. He's organizational depth at this stage of his career. Thu, Dec 15, 2016 05:21:00 PM

Chris Davis (elbow) went 1-for-3 in his return to Grapefruit League action on Sunday.

Davis had been sidelined with a sore elbow which required a cortisone injection last weekend. The O's will continue to take precaution with him over the final week-and-a-half of spring training, but it looks like he should be ready to go for Opening Day.

Mark Trumbo (quadriceps) said Saturday that he's unsure if he'll be ready to return in 3-4 weeks.

Trumbo was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right quad strain on Thursday after feeling discomfort during a recent Grapefruit League contest. The veteran slugger said that he didn't want to set a specific time frame then be disappointed if he wasn't ready in time. It sounds like he may miss the first couple of weeks of the regular season.

Ynoa was seen wearing a boot earlier in the week after an MRI showed a stress reaction in his shins, but it was short-lived. That said, he's still probably headed for the disabled list with only a few weeks left to try to round into form, both with his arm and his legs. Given the state of the Orioles' rotation, though, an opportunity exists for the 24-year-old if he can show something upon his return.

Zach Britton (Achilles) is no longer wearing a protective walking boot on his right foot.

It's not breaking news, as that was the plan for a few days, but it's still a nice step forward, pun very much intended. Britton is still months away from returning after December surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles' tendon. The All-Star break has long been the aim for a possible return to the O's.
